Currently, Chinese exporters and producers pay a $0.50 per kilogram or a $500/mt definite countervailing duty (CVD).
Domestic producers Deacero and Industrial de Alambres requested SE on June 2018 to further investigate the Chinese imports of the product, which falls under the HTS code 7315.82.02.
SE said the review period covers April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, while the analysis period starts on April 1, 2013, and ends on March 31, 2018.
Chinese exports will continue paying the a $0.50 per kilogram CVD, SE said.
